I thought I would update my progress with my favorite set.
I have been working on it when time allows.
I'm not completely happy with everything here but it's a work in progress.

I have added a few, swapped a few and just took some out that I didn't like.
My tastes are constantly changing, so I will never be done. I'm ok with that. :)

    What an evenly matched, pleasant set.
    I love the idea of offering blended circulated coins with your moderns rather than going the easy way out with UNCS.
    Is this a Library of Coins album set? I see you have extra coins the DANSCO 7070 doesn't have.
    You are also (possibly) missing the Kennedy and the Ike?

    Good eye! I am missing both Kennedys. I found an Ike though. :)

    It's hard to make a post like this. Hopefully I didn't forget any others.

    As far as the set, it's a constantly evolving Flatwoods set.
    I change it when and where I want. :)

    I was thinking the same thing as what @braddick said as I was looking thru it. A perfectly matched set. And a 42/1 Dime to boot. Congrats on the great set. Good job.

    Your no stars half dime is terrific (need the no stars dime!), and even your 1964 cent looks fantastic.
    A bonus: You include both types for the three-cent silver. Most sets neglect this.

    WOW! Your set is fantastic. I really like a nice high end circulated set ............

    If you look at the link, the last rendition had a fabulous no stars dime.
    I sold it. No idea why. I do things like that.
    It was a great coin. :/

    You state you're missing two Kennedy halves, yet wouldn't it be three?
    1964
    1965-70
    1971-
    I would only include 1971 forward as you do include a 2000 Sac.

    True. In my mind, I was thinking 64 and 65 -present but yes, I think you are on to something.
    I have a harder time finding the cheap coins. No shops near me and you rarely find a VF graded Kennedy or Roosie, or 09 VDB etc.

    And that my friend, is the challenge and makes this fun!
    Scouring various sources looking for that quintessential "perfectly worn" coin- such as a Kennedy half, is difficult yet so rewarding when located.

    Now that I'm thinking, might as well throw the bicentennial Kennedy in there too.
    That's 4 I need. Gee, thanks @braddick.

    Nice looking set. You are missing a half dime, clad Roosie and Quarter as well.

    When I look at a set like that, with the well matched circulated examples throughout, and better dates scattered within, I think the response is ... "Bravo!"

    What a wonderful collection! Thanks for sharing!!

    @Flatwoods ... What a great set of coins. I like the circ look, and the inclusion of special coins as well. Sure, there are some to be added, but that is what collecting is all about. With a set like this, it grows as you find coins that suit you.... Great job, impressive coins. Cheers, RickO

    A wonderful collection that reflects your efforts in building it! Really fun to examine.

    Where's the 1916 SLQ? ;)
